The two returned home one after the other, He Qian's mother was very concerned about Hou Zhengdong, the leader of the army, and struggled to get up to cook for him, but was stopped by Hou Zhengdong, saying that he wanted to taste the craftsmanship of the little sister, and He Qian's mother smiled and nodded in agreement, and told He Qian a few words and lay down.

"He Qian, I'll go out and buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke."

Hou Zhengdong greeted He Qian's mother and daughter, got up and walked out of the house.

Of course, Hou Zhengdong didn't really go out to buy cigarettes, he still had a pack of freshly opened cigarettes in his pocket, he came out to do errands, to be precise, to find someone to help, although he grew up in the countryside, but he was not good at doing farm work, even if he had a strong laborer, it would not help much.

However, he already had an idea in his heart, and spent money to invite the farmers in the village to help, Hou Zhengdong inquired and found an old man in the village who was highly respected, saying that he was coming to comfort the families of the soldiers in difficulty on behalf of the leaders of the army, He Gou's family situation is special, and he can't do farm work, so these things need to trouble the old man to help find some people to do the work, and so on.

After arranging this qiē, Hou Zhengdong returned to He Qian's house, the meal had been prepared, the dishes were home-grown vegetables, and He Qian also prepared a plastic bucket of rice wine for him.

Mother He has been sick in bed for a long time, so thin that only skin and bones remain, she simply ate a few bites of food and beckoned He Qian to take care of Hou Zhengdong and lay down.

Hou Zhengdong looked at the sick mother He, looked at the dilapidated house that was almost leaking, and He Qian, who was dressed in tatters but very neat, and his heart was sour, this is the home of the martyrs.

When they were having lunch, the villagers invited by Hou Zhengdong came, and Hou Zhengdong quickly ate the meal and followed He Qian and them out.

He Qian pointed out her paddy fields to the villagers one by one, and she pulled up her trousers to go down to the fields, but Hou Zhengdong stopped her, saying that she would go to the hospital to take care of her mother later.

When the two returned to the village, the ambulance from the county people's hospital had arrived, and He's mother was reluctant to go, saying that she didn't want to spend the unjust money, and Hou Zhengdong personally helped He's mother into the car without saying a word.

The hospital gave He's mother a detailed examination and found many diseases hidden in her body, which scared He Qian to tears, and Hou Zhengdong arranged for He's mother to be hospitalized.

Of course, when Hou Zhengdong went through the hospitalization procedures for He's mother, he took her ID card, went to the bank to open an account for her, and deposited He Gou's pension.

According to the regulations, the pension for martyrs is 80 months' salary, and He Gou is a first-class noncommissioned officer with a monthly salary of a little more than 700 in the second year, plus some rewards from some military regions and some allowances for He Gou to serve as a soldier for four years, a total of 70,000 yuan, which is a little short.

Hou Zhengdong called He Qian over when he did this qiē, and explained this qiē to her clearly in the bank, of course, when explaining these circumstances, Hou Zhengdong did not make it clear that he had made up a total of 100,000 yuan and deposited it into He Qian's mother's account, and then, Hou Zhengdong asked He Qian to go home, go back to collect the grain, and give the wages of those villagers.

Back at the hospital, He's mother had woken up, after the operation, her face became more and more pale, she was beaten by He Wang, and her spleen was slightly ruptured, and she herself had diabetes, stomach problems and other diseases.

Hou Zhengdong bought her a meal, talked with her, and talked about the dog's appearance in the army, and He's mother was very happy when she learned that her son's appearance in the army was very good, and then talked about He Qian's study, only then did she know that He Qian's girl was a student of Qixi No. 2 Middle School, and her grade exam score was third.

That night, Hou Zhengdong spent the night in the corridor of the hospital, and for him who came back from the line of death, no matter how bad the conditions were, they were much better than in the jungles of southern Xinjiang, at least he didn't have to worry about a bullet coming at any time.

Early the next morning, Hou Zhengdong bought breakfast for He's mother, and went to the inpatient department of the hospital to save 10,000 yuan for her medical expenses in advance.

"Brother Hou, I stewed chicken soup for my mother, can you drink some too?"

"He Qian, no need, I just had breakfast outside."

Hou Zhengdong shook his head, the old man needed to make up for his body, "Auntie, you have a good rest, I still have something to do today, and I will come to see you when I have time." ”

"Xiaohou, don't go, you tell me honestly, is there something wrong with my dog?"

Mother He put down the spoon in her hand, raised her head and looked at Hou Zhengdong, the expression on her face was very calm, Hou Zhengdong's heart jumped, she glanced at He Qian, and shook her head, "Auntie, don't worry, the dog participated in an operation with me to exterminate drug dealers, and I was injured, because the matter involves state secrets, so let me come back to see you instead of him." ”

"How is it, whether the dog's injuries are serious or not, does it matter?"

"It's okay, just recuperate for a while."

Hou Zhengdong was a little unbearable, "Auntie, you have a good rest, I still have some things to do today, I'll come to see you another day." ”

"Oh, then you go get busy."

Mother He's face showed a sad look, "He Qian, send one to your brother Hou." ”

"Brother Hou, my mother may have guessed that I don't want to study anymore."

He Qian's beautiful big eyes were bloodshot, obviously, she didn't sleep well all night last night, for a little girl of this age, the sacrifice of her brother as a backer means that she has to become the pillar of this family.

"No, you have to go to school, this is your brother's wish, I promised your brother to help him take care of you and your mother."

Hou Zhengdong's face sank, "Do you want your brother to die without turning a blind eye?" Don't worry, there is me, this is my mobile phone number, call me if I encounter anything, I will go to Jiangbei Province in the past two days, and then I will come back to Qixi County. ”

He Qian's heart was shocked, and a tear flashed in her beautiful big eyes.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll be your brother in the future, take good care of our mother."

Hou Zhengdong put the mobile phone number written long ago in He Qian's palm and strode away.

Huaxi Town is located next to the provincial highway, the provincial highway crosses from the center of the town, Kuroko's home is on the edge of the town street, Heizi's name Zhao Liang, Hou Zhengdong looked at the photos on the wall with his hands behind his back, and there was a trace of arrogant evil smile on Heizi's face, obviously, Heizi was not a good stubble before enlisting in the army.

Opposite Hou Zhengdong, Kuroko's parents were busy counting the banknotes, and what surprised Hou Zhengdong the most was that when Kuroko's parents learned of Kuroko's sacrifice, their first reaction was not to cry, but to ask for more pensions!

In desperation, Hou Zhengdong took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of the unit, asking them to talk to the unit leaders, and the unit leaders repeatedly explained to them that this was a policy or something, and finally let them go to the Qixi County Civil Affairs Bureau by themselves when they were annoyed, and the unit would send a document to the Qixi County Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

A loud voice rang out.

Hou Zhengdong turned around and saw a young man with dyed yellow hair rushing in, "Wow, that's a lot of money, Dad, I want to buy a motorcycle, and I want to buy a bag for my girlfriend." ”

Hou Zhengdong's brows twisted, He Qian's heartbroken appearance flashed in his mind, and he sighed in his heart, they are also the families of martyrs, why is the gap so big.
